I know very few people will care about this game because it's basically the Dolphins and Chiefs, but that ending has to piss off anyone who had SJSU + the points. Granted, SJSU was being idiotic for taking timeouts at the end when the game was pretty much sealed, but why on earth is Stanford trying to score TDs when the game is over???

Less than :30 to go, 2nd down, and the other team has no timeouts. Whatever happened to taking a knee and winning with class? Yeah, I know Stanford sucks and they won't get many chances to score this season. I also know about the ridiculous "well if they don't want to get scored on they should stop 'em!" philosophy. But give me a break. It's not like Stanford is trying to make their win look more impressive for the BCS or anything.

And the last thing I'll say on the subject... it's also just BAD coaching. If you take a knee, there is NO chance of you losing the game. When you're handing the ball off and trying to score, you could fumble the ball and the other team could scoop it up and run it back, and you lose. Yeah, I know the odds against that are very unlikely, but I've seen it happen before.

Alright, off the soapbox now...

I only had SJSU in a parlay that was already dead, but I was still amazed by that decision. Then again, it seems like a lot of college coaches do it, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised anymore.

I wondered what happened, a very bad beat, I also got lucky with LSU, they all even out over the year.

I have to admit, I did get lucky earlier this year when FLA kicked that meaningless FG to beat Miami by 23. That only gave me a push though. Over than that, it's been quite a while since something like this has went in my favor. I know it sounds cliche, but it seems like these things go against me a lot more often than they work for me.
